Souq Waqif Art Center

This guide to the Souq Waqif Art Center in Doha starts with the 2003 fire that leveled the historic market and the five years spent rebuilding its mud walls and timber beams by hand. It follows the souq's older identity as a place where merchants once called out from their doorways to sell saffron, dates and coffee, and how that trade still surrounds the galleries today.
